High data usage for Xperia systems app



While looking through my latest data usage stats for my week old Xperia X performance I discovered that the apps Xperia Configurator and Xperia Chinese Keyboard uses an absurd amount of data. In the short time I've owned it the Configurator app managed to use 316 MB of background data while the keyboard has used 215 MB of foreground data of all things. Out of curiosity I checked the WiFi usage and saw that keyboard managed to rack up 426 MB of data usage.

Being unable to read and write Chinese, I can guarantee you that I've never activated the keyboard. That said; it's a keyboard, why would it require 641 MB of data transfer over the course of a week? I find it mighty suspicious and was hoping somebody could shed some light on the issue.

Also, I've never used the Configurator app, as it seems to be aimed for business.

Maybe install raspbian on it as the primary os
They are both arm7 right?
Servers for files, personal email/own cloud server.
Local Wi-Fi ftp, backup, sync system..


Anything like that..

A.R.I.S.E. Sound Systems seeking getprop output (Easy, I promise!)



Hey Axon 7 owners!

I am a member of the A.R.I.S.E. Sound Systems™ team, producing top-shelf mobile audio sound systems for Android devices. Information can be found at our thread here.

In less than two months of existence we've achieved incredible success, but that success is only possible because of many, many users aiding us in the various research areas we conduct to further improve our sound systems.

One of those areas of research is examining the getprop output of various devices, especially those that we utilize into our sound systems using various libraries and other content. This is where you come in:

Our current sound system in testing phase, Leviticus, is based around your very own Axon 7 Dolby Atmos, ported by our team member, @ahrion. To maximize this system's success and functionality, one simple contribution by one of you can have a significant impact - providing the output of "getprop" from your Axon 7. Before I provide the instructions on how to do just that, let me explain what we are requesting.

/system/build.prop contains many properties for our devices, that can have values or adjustable values that can enhance all sorts of mods we all like to enjoy here at XDA. As is the case with some things we encounter in life, what we see is only the "tip of the iceberg." Rooted or unrooted, if you type the following command in terminal:


Code:


getprop

And then tap Enter on your phone's keyboard, your terminal app will create a list of every single property for your device, the vast majority of which are not included in your /system/build.prop. These "hidden" lines can be a gold mine for us that build sound systems using significant content from particular devices.

Rest assured, no sensitive personal data is ever stored in your complete list of build properties and you are easily able to examine the entire contents of the getprop output before copying the entire text, pasting it into a new .txt file, and attaching that new .txt file to a reply for us to utilize with Leviticus.

It will not take much of your time at all but it will certainly help us maximize your phone's content that is utilized into our latest sound system that we are just now building.

Thanks for reading our request and do not hesitate to ask me anything about this request or the usage of a fulfilled request. Below, is a link to a free terminal emulator available from the Google Play Store if you do not already have a terminal app and would like to help us maximize your phone's content in our Leviticus sound system. :good:
